The exclusive format focuses on jointly strengthening the VICOS shared-service platform. In a workshop setting, club members and security experts pooled their knowledge to anticipate threat scenarios and scope future penetration tests with maximum value for all members. An innovative milestone that demonstrates: True security today is teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>Security in the KRITIS sector is now a collective effort that goes far beyond individual protective measures. Dirk Breitkreuz, CEO of Virtimo AG, emphasizes the strategic value of the format: &#8220;The Defenders&#8217; Club gives us the opportunity to incorporate additional approaches from our customers and to significantly expand the technical execution of penetration tests through pooled expertise.&#8221; Instead of operating in isolation, the club combines deep platform knowledge with users&#8217; many years of practical experience.<\/p>\n<p>Key elements of the workshop were the technical architecture of the VICOS shared-service platform and the business processes for handling market communications. Under the &#8220;Defense in Depth&#8221; guiding principle, the platform and processes were intensively analyzed to identify potential attack vectors in advance. Nils Milchert, Principal at Spike Reply, praised the technical depth of the exchange: &#8220;We can delve into this much more deeply here than would be possible in a fragmented manner across different locations. I&#8217;m impressed by how deeply the participants have engaged with the topics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Feedback from club members also confirms the strategic advantage.
